We are so happy to finally have some sunshine as we love playing outside! On Monday, we spent most of our day in our newly refurbished messy area outside. We’ve got a new mud kitchen area accessorized with exciting and interesting resources. To add to our fun, there is an outside whiteboard to make lovely pictures and explore writing as well as a bedsheet to spray with paints of different colours – we can’t wait to see if the rain does anything to our paint! The boys and girls have had so much fun exploring our area and using it for different purposes – from being creative investigators to active exercises using hula hoops and balls. At the end of the day, the children suggested that we have a story outside, under our canopy, instead of going inside – and so we did! It felt so summery! We also discussed the importance of wearing sun cream outside, as the sunshine can be very strong.
M: “Can I have a go, it looks so much fun!”
E: “Look how high I can shoot the paint!”
K: “I’m writing a letter to my new school.”
L: “Would you like soup or a burger today?”
R: “I can hula-hoop, look at me!”
J: “I really love playing outside!”
G: “I only like playing outside when it’s sunny.”
